The Amateur Gourmet and Spaghetti Carbonara

We got quite a few of emails from readers excited about us featuring some of our favorite bloggers. So after featuring Ms Adventures in Italy, the Amateur Gourmet is next. It's the blog of writer Adam Roberts, who's daily writings about restaurant reviews, recipes and how-to instructions are fun to read and always insightful. Adam who started writing this blog while going crazy in law school and is now a professional writer brings a unique perspective to the world of blogger chefs out there.  For a fun Italian recipe, check out his Spaghetti Carbonara For Beginners recipe. Also, Adam wrote the book The Amateur Gourmet which you can buy at Amazon.com

Italian Blogs We Love - Ms. Adventures in Italy

We read about all things Italian - some of which we pick up in newspapers but we actually get most of our reading pleasures from blogs just like ours. One that we'd like to point out is called Ms. Adventures in Italy, which is Sara Rosso's blog who has lived in Rome, Pavia and now Milan after moving to Italy from Silicon Valley. We love Sara's blog, as she writes about interesting topics such as:

How Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Wheels are Cut into Wedges

Pesto Garganico: Almonds, Sundried Tomatoes and Basil Pesto Recipe

Finding Italy’s Hidden Beaches in Puglia’s Gargano

In addition to her interesting writing, Sara takes all photography on her site herself and there's some great stuff up there. If you want to learn about life in Italy from an American's perspective, then check out Ms. Adventures in Italy.
